Ersson is expected to start at home against Washington on Wednesday, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.

Ersson is making his first start since Feb. 26, but he did stop the three shots he faced in a relief appearance Monday. The 26-year-old has a 9-10-5 record, 3.40 GAA and .859 save percentage in 26 outings in 2025-26. Washington is coming off a 7-3 victory over Calgary on Monday, which ended the Capitals' three-game losing streak and brought the team's record up to 32-26-7.

Fowler was recalled from AHL Laval on Wednesday.

Fowler has a 2.33 GAA and a .916 save percentage in 27 outings with Laval in 2025-26. He's also posted a 4-4-2 record, 2.82 GAA and .902 save percentage across 10 outings with the Canadiens this season. The Canadiens will be in the second half of a back-to-back when they play in Ottawa on Wednesday, so perhaps Fowler was summoned to play in that match.

Perreault recorded two assists, put two shots on net and served two PIM in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Flames.

Perreault secured a two-point night on New York's final two goals, which were both scored by his linemate, Alexis Lafreniere. The pair of helpers brought Perreault up to nine assists, 15 points, 46 shots on net, 20 hits and 16 blocked shots across 31 games this season. While the campaign has been a down year for the Rangers overall, the emergence of Perreault has been a positive takeaway. The 23rd overall selection from the 2023 NHL Entry Draft has taken a step up in March, where he has three multi-point performances across five games. If the 20-year-old winger continues to remain involved offensively, he'll likely be a staple in the Rangers' top six for years to come.

Zibanejad supplied two assists and placed two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Calgary.

Zibanejad played a hand in the first of Alexis Lafreniere's three goals in the contest, with the opening goal occurring on a power play. The pair of apples brought Zibanejad up to 34 assists, 61 points, 172 shots on net, 84 hits and 42 blocked shots across 63 games played this season. Over his last six games, the 32-year-old center has five helpers, nine points and 18 shots on goal. He has led by example since Artemi Panarin's departure to Los Angeles via a trade, which has given Zibanejad a high ceiling in fantasy for the remainder of the season.

Sheary tallied a goal and put two shots on net in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Flames.

Sheary found the back of the net midway through the second period to double the Rangers' lead. With Tuesday's twine finder, he now has two goals, 10 points, 61 shots on net and 29 blocked shots across 44 games this season. The 33-year-old winger hasn't been able to thrive in a bottom-six role this season. He didn't have a point in 13 appearances going into Tuesday's contest, and hadn't scored a goal since Dec. 6 against Colorado.

Lafreniere scored three goals and fired three shots on net in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Calgary.

Lafreniere carried the torch for New York in Tuesday's contest, scoring a goal in the final four minutes of each period. Since returning from the Olympic break, the 24-year-old winger has been on fire offensively with six goals, 10 points and 18 shots on net across seven games. His recent surge has brought his season totals up to 18 goals, 42 points, 125 shots on net, 79 hits and 39 blocked shots over 64 games this season. While he took a step back in his point production last season, he is just three points shy of matching the 45 points he posted in 82 games a year ago. At his current scoring pace, he'll likely challenge his career high of 57 points, making him an excellent waiver-wire pickup for the time being.

Quick made 21 saves in Tuesday's 4-0 shutout win over the Flames.

Quick benefited from Alexis Lafreniere's hat trick, but also held his own in net and made three of his 21 saves on the Rangers' penalty kill. With Tuesday's victory, Quick now holds a 5-15-2 record, a 3.05 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 22 outings this season. The shutout was his second of the campaign, and the victory ended his four-game losing skid. While his record is partially a product of the Rangers' struggles as a team, the 40-year-old netminder could offer decent value as a spot starter for the remainder of 2025-26.

Wolf stopped 25 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Rangers.

While Calgary's offense stalled Tuesday, Wolf fell to the three-goal effort of New York's Alexis Lafreniere, who scored one goal in each period. With the loss, Wolf now holds an 18-24-3 record, a 3.02 GAA and an .896 save percentage across 46 games played this season. While he got off to a strong start following the Olympic break, the 24-year-old netminder has allowed four goals in each of his last three games. He has showcased plenty of upside for the future, but with the state of Calgary's offense, Wolf has become a depth matchup-based option for most fantasy managers. His next chance to bounce back could come Thursday in New Jersey.

Ferraro notched an assist and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Sabres.

Ferraro has earned three helpers over seven contests since the Olympic break, but his last goal was Jan. 19 versus the Panthers. The veteran defenseman is a pending unrestricted free agent this summer, but the Sharks didn't trade him away before the deadline, so they may attempt to re-sign him to be a steady shutdown blueliner for a young team. The 27-year-old is at 15 points, 72 shots on net, 105 hits, 117 blocked shots, 31 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 62 appearances this season.

Sherwood scored a goal, added five hits and went minus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Sabres.

Sherwood has picked up the pace with three goals and an assist over his last four contests. The winger is up to 20 goals, seven assists, 129 shots on net, 254 hits and a minus-13 rating across 52 appearances between the Sharks and the Canucks. Sherwood has played around a 40-point pace over the last two seasons while adding elite physical play.
